Winter Springs readies for radio tower,
despite PrimeCo request withdrawal
BY LINDA HUMPHREY
The Winter Springs City commission voted Monday to execute an Interlocal Utility
Construction Agreement with Seminole County for the installation of water mains,reclaimed
water mains,landscaping,and irrigation during the construction ofTuskawilla Road Phases
III and IV.
City Manager Ron McLemore told the commission that PrimeCo,Inc.,has withdrawn its
request to place a communications tower within the city.However,this may again be brought
before the commission at a later date.The staff will begin to prepare a draft of a Teleconunu-
nications Ordinance in view of CALNO's request at its October 2 meeting that each city
manager and county manager assign a planner to participate in a committee to meet with
industry representatives in an effort to minimize tower locations in the city and county. A
tower in Winter Springs would bring a higher quality service to residents owning cellular
phones and pagers. Rental space on the tower could bring in$1,000 revenue monthly into the
city.
The commission voted 3-1 to pass a resolution supporting the City of Cassclberry's
regulation of the consumption of alcoholic beverages in after hour night clubs.Commissioner
John Ferring voted no.Objections were heard from residents in the audience as the commis-
sion voted to support this resolution.Mayor Bush brought this to the commission following
receipt of a letter to him from the mayor of Casselberry seeking support."The health,safety,
and welfare of this city could be affected by people driving into Winter Springs between 2 and
7:00 am.,"Bush said.
